Abstract

The subject of philosophical reflection and interdisciplinary analytics are cognitive science and cognitive technologies, the intensive development of which allows us to reveal the secrets of consciousness at the nano-level and, accordingly, to implement a wide range of possibilities for managing cognitive processes. The onset of the cognitive revolution in the middle of the 20th century marked the beginning of interdisciplinary research that united cybernetics, psychology, human biology and social and humanitarian sciences.

In the last decade, military experts (primarily representing NATO) have declared their claims to master cognitive knowledge and technologies, proclaiming the emergence of a new, sixth domain of military conflicts – cognitive warfare.

The emerging situation causes an urgent need for large-scale scientific research, development of methods and technologies, personnel training, effective organizational measures to ensure cognitive security in the modern information society.
